To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. Wnrs- BROOK, a citizenof the United States, residing at Madison, in the countyof Dane and 5 State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Scalder's,,pf which the following is agspecie hogs at the ess or move the-ho s for Figure 2 is a. si

away;

'Figure 3-is a section at 3-3 Figure 1; Figure 4' is a section sti t-4 Figure '1;

Figure 5 is a like section to Figure 4 but with the cranks in a difi'erent position.

Like reference characters represent like parts throughout the following specification elevation, pa broken and in the several views, in which, .2 is a tank J or vat and 3 are longitudinal conveyor slats of the cranks 3 and 4, which cranks are interconnected bylchains 5 and 6 working on suitable sprockets such as 7 and suitably conncct'ecl to some source of power not shown.

40 Carried by the slats 3 "are cleats 8 passingbeyond the edges of the slats and far enough to interlazp and just clearing the next slat so that a complete roof is formed. The specific gravity of the hog being less than 1, its ten j 5; any is to float and it is intended that wh n Y same time progressor Improvements in Hog invention relate s to pncking' house' e some. time to provide an f Figure 1 is a top plan view of 'mIv device e rt y cleats interlap by the turning a hog is dropped into one end ofthe vet and pushed beneath the slats,='that the cleats-will I push the hog onward-underlies h veyer slats and thatthesegfili u other end and that owih'g to the lite lap-v ping of the cleats thatth h gsgcannotbob up between-thefslats,
